Nólsoy Warnings Or Dangers

When hiking on Nólsoy, be especially careful of the Arctic Terns who have taken up residence. It doesn't take very much provocation at all for them to tern on you. They are highly possessive of their nesting areas and will attack anyone or anything that terns up. Their tactics are to screech loudly, then tern into a deep dive on the invaders' heads. Trust me, this is one ternpike you don't want to travel down.

To avoid having cuts and bruises terning up on your head, be sure to wear a hat. Also do not tern from the main paths. If their attention does tern in your direction, keep on a steady pace and direction. Should they tern on you, hold a stick over your head so the birds attack that instead of your head. Finally, if all else fails, tern around and get out of the area. They won't chase you too far.
